Carolina Herrera is synonymous with
effortless elegance and classic chic; and this season she manages
to impress us yet again with her clean and timeless
designs.

This season Elizabeth has a collection of sheer and dreamy
gowns. Inspired by a visit to her family home in Michigan, she was
inspired by the endless flora and fauna of the area (dragonflies,
butterflies, flowers and ponds) - and those translate beautifully
into her gowns.

His show every bit as dramatic and magnificent as it was when we
first saw it at London's bridal shows at the White Gallery. Red carpet-worthy
gowns in pastels shades, bow-print and floral
fabrics and classic bridal tones too, made their way down
the catwalk.

Art Deco details and vintage glam shone through in Jenny's
latest collection. These are frocks made for brides who literally
want to dazzle on their big day: crystal beading abounds, catching
the light with ever step the model takes down the catwalk.

A flurry of Old World elegance and very glam beadwork together
with unexpected fabric combinations such as richly embroidered
stretch tulle, cascading lace-trimmed organza and finely pleated
soft lace were given innovative detailing moved her collection on
from last season's layering and separates.

She sent out fairy like models tiptoeing down the petal strewn
catwalk. Inspired by the paintings of Dutch artist Sir Lawrence
Alma-Tadema, it is safe to say Claire was at her romantic best.

Colourful embroidery silk floral headdreses were only some of
the beautiful blooms we saw on the catwalk. Models were adorned
with wrist corsages and necklets of pretty flowers, too.
Irridescent lace with bejewelled embellishments on bloused sleeves,
illusion backed lace and velvet dresses floated down the
catwalk.

But through it all there was that feeling of unique gowns,
delicate and pretty enough for any bride - no matter what her big
day is like.

Romona Keveza is widely regarded within the
bridal world - and her latest show did not disappoint!

With sleek Park Avenue-princess ponytails, Romona's couture
collection was the epitome of chic simplicity. The beautifully cut
classic silhouettes: the ballgown; the fishtail; and the draped
goddess in soft French net, silk charmeuse and shantung taffeta in
ivory, pistachio, ice blue and blush; all had individual and subtle
embellishments - a line of diamante buttons in a row from bodice to
hem, lace illusion necks, crystal beaded and metallic belts, or
smothered in intricate tiny flower blossoms.

Looks like brides in 2013 will embrace colour and a serious
amount of bling!

Marchesa's designers, Keren Craig and Georgina
Chapman, most recently designed one of the most talked about (and
yet unseen) celebrity dress of the year: that of Blake Lively's. Although the Gossip Girl star
is said to have been 'highly involved' in the designing of her
dress, we want to think that Georgina and Keren's input had a bit
of inspiration from their latest collection, which we were privy to
tonight!

Never ones to shy away from brilliance, the New York-based
designers brought true shine to catwalk in the form of embroidered
lace, silk mesh organza and layers or organza.

The collection is decidedly feminine and delicate. Necklines are
just off the shoulder with ¾ sleeves, little puffed cap sleeves or
architecturally sculpted strapless gowns.

But Marchesa wouldn't be Marchesa without a bit of bling:
details included rose gold and crystal artwork embroidery on a
traditional sweetheart bodice; gold metallic thread under tulle
overlay; draped cowl necks; flutter sleeves and tufted short lace
peplums held in place with grosgrain ribbon.

Every bit of fanciful and dreamy as always, each gown is
exquisitely thought out and expertly crafted.

Few designers enjoy as much success in both the fashion and the
bridal world as Alice Temperley. It is her cool style that the
fashion world loves, and her elegant, timeless class that brides
pine for. And pine for her gowns we do: they are at once stylish
and classic - the kind of gown you can wear without the dreaded
fear of looking back at your wedding pictures in years to come and
thinking 'I can't believe I wore that...'

Silhouettes remain classically neat and slim. No doubt if they
came in different colours a certain Duchess would surely fall in
love with the frocks too...

One of the most exciting things about Vera Wang's designs (beyond their dreamy
qualities, of course) is the element of surprise that surrounds the
show. The question on everyone's minds tonight: What will she do
this time?

At her spring show last April Vera dazzled us with a romantic
display of scarlet brides in deep burgundy, maroon, dahlia and
fiery red. The autumn show before that her pack of nude and black
gowns brought a sober tone to bridal fashion. So what did she do
this time? Well, she shocked us all over again...

The bridal queen went black to basics - bridal basics, that is -
and returned to white and ivory dresses.

Featuring her now signature ballgowns of billowing taffeta,
hand-draped tulle and masterful pleats, there is a true romance to
her elegant gowns. There is the sexy fishtail silhouette too, for
the bombshell brides, and just about everything a bride-to-be could
ever hope to find in her dress…

Hot off the plane from London we whizzed across New York to
reach the Alfred Angelo Autumn 2013 show: our first show
of the exciting Bridal Fashion Week that lies ahead.

Unsure of what was in store, we were absolutely spellbound by
the latest collection from designer Michael Shettel for Alfred
Angelo. Inspired by beauty in motion, the soft, feminine
silhouettes were paired with delicate accessories for whimsical
effect. Floral details feature heavily too - from organza blooms to
net petals and pretty beading.

And the colours! Delicate creams and pale pinks abound - proving
that the autumn bride of 2013 doesn't fear colour, but embraces it
instead. We also got to see those gorgeous Cinderella-inspired gowns again, which was a
real treat.
